In I’ll Be Watching, after her tech genius husband (Bob Morley) leaves on a work trip, Julie (Eliza Taylor), still mourning the loss of her sister, is trapped in their new, isolated home and must fight her own fears to stay alive.
Two at odds sisters hit rock bottom in this live action film, and find themselves thrown together to try and remake their lives. When the only solace is their mother’s chocolate cake, they decide to create a chocolate cake that makes you lose weight. But, during the funding ‘pitch’ party, the investor’s dog gets into the chocolate cake which sets off a 24-hour city-wide chase beginning with Dr. Dogwood, the eccentric vet with a ‘potion’, an encounter with a bumbling terrorist, and the attention of an up and coming field reporter who sees this as her shot at fame. The topper is when they realize they have gained the interest of the mob boss Carmine Frangiolini and his opportunistic family friend, Lucas Morello, who “want to make them an offer they cannot refuse”. Somehow, through this ordeal, these two displaced sisters come together to create a national franchise and find that… they aren’t so different after all.

This book synthesizes cutting-edge developments in corporate finance and related fields–in particular, real options and game theory–to help bridge this gap. In clear, straightforward exposition and through numerous examples and applications from various industries, Han Smit and Lenos Trigeorgis set forth an extended valuation framework for competitive strategies.

The Man Who Thought He Was Napoleon is built around a bizarre historical event and an off-hand challenge. The event? In December 1840, nearly twenty years after his death, the remains of Napoleon were returned to Paris for burial―and the next day, the director of a Paris hospital for the insane admitted fourteen men who claimed to be Napoleon. The challenge, meanwhile, is the claim by great French psychiatrist Jean-Étienne-Dominique Esquirol (1772–1840) that he could recount the history of France through asylum registries.
Understanding Latin Literature is a highly accessible, user-friendly work that provides a fresh and illuminating introduction to the most important aspects of Latin prose and poetry. This second edition is heavily revised to reflect recent developments in scholarship, especially in the area of the later reception and reverberations of Latin literature.

Readers are stimulated and inspired to do their own further reading through engagement with a wide selection of translated extracts and through understanding the different ways in which they can be approached. Central throughout is the theme of the fundamental connections between Latin literature and issues of elite Roman culture. The versatile and accessible structure of Understanding Latin Literature makes it suitable for both individual and class use.
